After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

A moment later, when everyone had regained their footing, they found themselves in an unfamiliar villa.

Click!

"Sure enough, it's locked again." Zhuo Fan was somewhat unwilling. After regaining his footing, he went to open the door, but to no avail.

After returning to Chen Zhuo's side, Zhuo Fan began to look around.

"What are those things on the wall?" Zhuo Fan vaguely saw that there seemed to be something drawn on the wall.

Chen Zhuo's nose twitched slightly: "It should be crayons. I can smell a very strong crayon scent."

"A strong crayon smell?" Zhuo Fan took a deep breath, but couldn't smell anything.

Unconvinced, he clung to the wall like a gecko, sniffing the crayon lines that had been smeared together.

Seeing Zhuo Fan's comical appearance, Mirror Ghost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Stop laughing, let's get down to business." Chen Zhuo lightly touched his pocket watch, reminding Mirror Ghost that it was time to get to work.

The Mirror Ghost immediately stopped laughing and began to explore the entire villa.

In just a few breaths, it completed its exploration, its tone somewhat strange.

There are currently four people sitting in the banquet hall on the second floor of the villa.

All four individuals possessed extremely low concentrations of eerie energy; it was impossible to determine whether this energy emanated from them or was acquired through prolonged exposure to this environment.

Ordinary people who are exposed to eerie energy for a long time, even if they stay away from the supernatural, will still carry a trace amount of eerie energy with them, just like Zhuo Fan is now.

If one lives continuously in this eerie atmosphere, one will become similar to Chen Zhuo in three or four years.

That's why the Mirror Ghost couldn't tell whether these people were supernatural beings or ordinary survivors.

"Besides that, there's another person approaching us. She's holding a strange object with considerable power."

At this point, Mirror Ghost gloated, "She thought she was being discreet, but I saw right through her."

"Stop joking." Chen Zhuo's expression turned slightly serious. "I didn't expect to meet someone here who possesses strange items. Perhaps she knows something about the strange things that have come to life."

Possessing strange items means that this person is not new to the supernatural, which also means that she may know more secrets.

Thinking this, Chen Zhuo put the little skull down and let it find a place to stay. Then, following the guidance of the mirror ghost, he went to the location where the person was.

Chen Zhuo made no attempt to hide his footsteps, which echoed openly on the first floor.

Da da da……

Shen Wan, who was about to continue approaching the entrance, stopped immediately upon hearing footsteps and quickly found cover to hide.

She could feel the footsteps approaching her, as if they were stepping on her heart, making her heart pound with fear.

"Phew—" Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, remembering her captain's words, and boldly peeked out.

"Huh?" Shen Wan looked puzzled, because there was no one in front of her!

But the footsteps I heard just now were clearly very close to me.

"Could it be..." Shen Wan realized with a start, instantly freezing on the spot, a chill spreading from her feet throughout her entire body.

"Move! Move!" Shen Wan shouted in her heart, quickly grabbing the strange weapon in her hand and slashing behind her the moment she turned around.

clang--

"No, don't do it! We are human beings!"

Amidst the deafening crash, Shen Wan seemed to hear a voice.

She quickly stepped back, creating distance between herself and the thing behind her before daring to examine it closely.

Where they had been standing, two more people had appeared!

The voice just now seemed to have come from one of the men, who was slightly plump.

Seeing the two people who suddenly appeared in front of her, Shen Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If the other party is truly strange, they would have tried to kill me just now, and at the same time, they would have been injured by my strange weapon.

Since neither of these two things has happened, it proves that there are two people in front of us.

"Who are you two? And how did you find me?"

They are all specially trained to minimize the sound of their breathing and footsteps, making them undetectable to ordinary people.

Zhuo Fan subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to answer the other person's question, but when his gaze swept towards Chen Zhuo, he immediately took back his words.

He was waiting for Chen Zhuo to speak, and then he would follow in his direction to answer the woman in front of him.

I'm just an ordinary person with no experience in dealing with these things. On the other hand, Chen Zhuo seemed completely at ease throughout.

If my rash words disrupted his plans, then it was my fault.

"We saw the rental information and rushed over to take a look, but as soon as we entered the villa, the door was locked from the inside."

Do you know what's going on here? Is this some kind of prank show?

Chen Zhuo did not intend to reveal his identity or what he had experienced before.

If the other party finds out about these things, it will be difficult to get information out of them.

"As for why I was able to find you..." Chen Zhuo pointed to his eyes: "Because I am blind, my other senses are more acute than those of ordinary people."

After hearing Chen Zhuo's explanation, Shen Wan began to believe him to some extent.

Before Chen Zhuo and his companion arrived, she had already encountered this situation once before. At that time, two people also came and were now resting in the banquet hall on the second floor.

There was just one thing that made her feel very strange.

Even after learning who they were, the two people from before still showed fear.

Looking at the two people in front of me, there was no fear on their faces.

"Tell me! Is it a prank? I bet you're an actor, you must be!"

Zhuo Fan realized something was wrong as soon as Chen Zhuo opened his mouth; the meaning and tone of his words didn't match at all!

Seeing that Shen Wan remained silent, he knew it was time for him to make his move.

His words conveyed a very nuanced range of emotions, from initial urgency and anger to final panic and forced smiles.

"Calm down! Let me explain slowly!"

First of all, my name is Shen Wan. I can tell you clearly that this is not a prank. As for the specific situation, it is a bit complicated.

Simply put, we live in a parallel world filled with many strange and bizarre things. These strange things possess terrifying abilities, and ordinary people can easily die if they encounter them.

Zhuo Fan's words completely dispelled Shen Wan's concerns. Furthermore, in contrast to Zhuo Fan's words, Chen Zhuo's behavior could be reasonably interpreted as a result of his calm and composed personality.

This made Shen Wan think more highly of Chen Zhuo.

"Few people can remain so calm in the face of such a situation. This person may be a talented individual; if given the organization's guidance, they will surely be able to take on significant responsibilities in the future!"

As she pondered, Zhuo Fan grew increasingly excited and was about to rush forward.

Seeing this, Shen Wan quickly said, "Don't worry, everything will be alright! I'm here, I'll get you out of here!"

"Miss Shen, you just said that for ordinary people facing those things, it's basically a certain death situation. So why can we leave here by following you?"

Chen Zhuo stood still, quietly waiting for Shen Wan's reply.

Shen Wan made no attempt to hide anything and immediately produced her identification: "Shen Wan, member of the Fengmen organization branch in Dachang City."

"The Sealed Gate Organization?" Chen Zhuo looked puzzled; this time, it had truly touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.
